we're getting down to the last

I made one last run to the grocery store last night... got some fresh fruit and vegetables, some lunchmeat, snacks for our trip, and the last gallon of milk we will consume as Michiganders.

I just put the last new roll of t.p. in both bathrooms.

I just baked my last batch of cookies in this old too-hot oven.

Just dumped the last bouquet of flowers from the vase on the coffee table.

I'm currently filling our wading pool with fresh water one last time.

*****The movers are coming on Tuesday to start packing. Thursday it will all be on the truck, and we will be staying else where for those few days in between. Friday we will be on our way. One week from RIGHT NOW we will be on the road. Not sure if that's really sunk in yet.

We'll make our way into St. Louis sometime next Sunday, we close on our new house on Monday, and then the moving truck is scheduled to arrive there on Tuesday. Between crashing at friend's houses, hotel stays, and even camping out in our big new empty house Monday night on our air mattresses, we'll have roughly a week of being nomads. And then it begins... all new firsts.

We'd like to share with you a bit of the every day comedies and dramas (and I'd like to hope for a touch of romance thrown in here and there) that make up our world.
Since we picked up and moved ourselves away from so many of our friends and family, here's where you can keep up with us!

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope..."
Jeremiah 29:11
